FDM, Fused Deposition Modeling is one of the typical RP processes that provide functional prototypes of ABS plastic. FDM produces the highest-quality parts in Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene (ABS) which is a common end-use engineering material that allows you to perform functional tests on sample parts. FDM process is a filament based system which feeds the material into the heated extrusion head and extruding molten plastic that hardens layer-by-layer to form a solid part. FDM parts are tougher and more durable than those produced by SLA. ABS parts are sufficiently resistant to heat, chemicals, and moisture that allows FDM parts to be used for limited to extensive functional testing, depending upon the application.
